Mr. Lincoln spared many lives in the war. "Hill," he would have said, "our place is not to condemn such passion. That is God's judgment." about 10 hours ago via TweetDeck
As for Mr. Boyd, whose life I spared, I know not what became of him. But I imagine Mr. Lincoln would have approved of my actions. #cw150 about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
That last tweet should have come after the one that began "'Thank you, marshal...'" Confounded technology. about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
We shook hands. "Lamon," I told him. "Newly conferred colonel in charge of recruitment. We need men such as yourself." about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
Miss Belle Boyd was captured three times for conspiring with the enemy. She thrice somehow secured her freedom. #cw150 #civilwar #history about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
I did not see him again. Astute readers will recognize his last name. Yes, he was related to the infamous Belle Boyd, as I later learned. about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
"Boyd," he said. "Perhaps I will visit your office tomorrow and offer my services. I have other matters to attend to in the meanwhile." about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
"Thank you, marshal," the man said. I replied, "I swore an oath to uphold the laws of this great country, not a mob's idle speculation." about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck
I stepped forward and began untying the man's bindings. The mob leader backed away and joined his companions. #history #cw150 #civilwar about 12 hours ago via TweetDeck
The mob leader let his gun drop to his side. The crowd behind him had begun to disperse. The condemned man was incredulous. #civilwar about 12 hours ago via TweetDeck
The murmurs of the crowd told me they agreed. I was performing in a court of law once more, no matter how impromptu it might be. #history 12:30 PM May 31st via TweetDeck
"You haven't presented sufficient evidence to convict this man of stealing a few coins, let alone conspiracy against his country," I said. 11:55 AM May 31st via TweetDeck
"Did you personally speak with these witnesses?" I asked. "It don't matter if I did or didn't," the leader said. "Now step aside." #cw150 11:50 AM May 31st via TweetDeck
"Mayhap," I replied. "These witnesses, are they here?" I asked. He glanced around. "Not as such," he said. #cw150 #civilwar #history 11:45 AM May 31st via TweetDeck
"Charges?" He practically spat the word. "Witnesses saw him conferring with the enemy. Are you a lawyer too?" #cw150 #civilwar #history 11:40 AM May 31st via TweetDeck
"One way or t'other, I'll serve justice, marshal," the leader said. "What are the charges?" I asked. #civilwar #cw150 #history #lamon 11:35 AM May 31st via TweetDeck
@StevenStreets I would appreciate you following my stories. Thank you, good suh. 11:30 AM May 31st via Echofon in reply to StevenStreets
The mob leader pointed his pistol at the condemned man's head. His hands were bound. He could only wince in anticipation of his fate. 11:30 AM May 31st via TweetDeck
@StevenStreets I wish I had had the prescience to know of such things. Bankers wield too much power today. It was not so in my time. 11:14 AM May 31st via Echofon in reply to StevenStreets
@StevenStreets What fine print do you speak of, good suh? 11:03 AM May 31st via Echofon in reply to StevenStreets
